Death - Stupid Deaths On The Road Poem by Paul Warren

The search for meaning is an endless thing
When thinking through what death will bring
In wandering the Western Front Cemeteries
It is difficult to find meaning in these war stories

But when someone dies in an crash because
They did not do the simple things in cause
Like putting on a seat belt or keeping to the speed
Or not drinking and driving or drugs that will impede

Perhaps the silliest thing to do is work a day
Party all night and without rest go on your way
To work with your mates then fail to take a bend
Thereby killing everyone in an inglorious end.
